Join us for an unforgettable Matala Beach Tour, one of Crete’s most unique seaside experiences. Located 68 km southwest of Heraklion, Matala is near the ancient Minoan palace of Phaistos, and is tied to the myth of Zeus and Europa. Once a harbor for the Minoans and Romans, the village holds deep historical roots.

In the 1960s and ’70s, Matala became a famous hippie retreat. The cliffside caves, once Roman tombs, were used as homes by the “flower children,” and many still have carved stairs, beds, and windows.

During the tour, you’ll have time to swim in clear blue waters, relax on the golden sand, and enjoy lunch at a seaside taverna. You can explore the caves, stroll through the colorful village, and browse shops filled with handmade local goods. A perfect mix of history, nature, and laid-back charm.
